The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to soak in the emotional weight of each sibling’s journey. There’s an authenticity in how they confront their father's legacy, and the small-town setting adds a layer of nostalgia and warmth, contrasting with the unresolved feelings they grapple with. Performances feel raw and grounded, particularly in those quieter moments of reflection. It’s distinctive in its use of practical effects to subtly convey shifts in memory and perception, really rooting the story in a tangible reality.
